The Charter Schools Development
Corporation (CSDC), a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and
Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), promotes
innovation and excellence in education by financing and developing
facilities for great public charter schools nationally. As the only
CDFI in the country focused exclusively on the facility and
financing needs of charter school organizations, CSDC helps charter
school entrepreneurs and leaders finance, build, expand and
replicate their school models, turning educational visions into
reality, with the goal of ultimately improving student achievement
by increasing school choice and catalyzing competition within the
American K-12 public education system.
CSDC has a special focus on new schools, schools serving
predominately low income students, and schools in communities with
poor performing traditional schools. Whether it be a direct
loan, credit enhancement (lease or loan guaranty), or a complete
turnkey facility, built-to-suit on a fee for development services
or lease-to-purchase basis, put our resources and expertise to work
for you.

"When students arrived on the first day of classes on
August 17, 2011, they walked into a beautiful school building. This
would not have been possible without the financial support of the
Charter School Development Corporation … A partner like CSDC means
that a charter school can provide their students with an
environment that will support academic performance. When we say
that we couldn't have done it without them, we mean it."
